"I'm tired!

"I was wondering if you felt anything, but were you nervous a dozen years ago, big woman"

"Of course, right?

Alphilis replied to one of Hausen's mansions, prepared by Ekla, while laying down on this one more comfortable bed. There was all the lines on the spot, but Alphilis was back to her usual. As if the tension earlier was a lie.

Alphilis explains it together as he lays on the bed like it was all over him.

I'm going to say no to this request.

"Right, that's good"

"Yeah?"

Rhine agreed and Ekla raised her voice of surprise. If you naturally tried to make Queen Muse a beloved Ekra, you wouldn't have thought of declining her request or anything.

Rhine makes his point as he holds Ekla's head in a hurry to protest.

"The queen is certainly a famous and famous queen, but she doesn't know what the rules are for asking mercenaries. I don't care how many lives I've had."

"That's not all. The surroundings seemed quite opposite to what that queen said. No matter how splendid the Queen may be, her surroundings will not be a non-cooperative and decent request to us. Isn't being abandoned by your people on the battlefield scarier than facing a mighty enemy?

"Indeed, Lord Lisa is right."

I even agreed with Venn, who was usually silent, so Ekla looked at him more shocked. Ekla believed that Venn was true to himself.

"You say that to Venn?

"Please calm down, ma'am. Until I have now expressed my opinion as a member of this mercenary regiment. Remember, my decision to act is always up to the lady."

"But..."

"But that's Venn's honest opinion, Ekla. I'll take into account how you feel about believing the words of your beloved queen, but now you're part of my mercenary corps. Calm down and analyze it. Is there really no danger in taking this request?

By the words of Alphilis, Ekla tried to think calmly. Alphilis watched patiently as the look turned two or three times, and eventually Ekla concluded.

"Sure... this request, it's highly dangerous. Not only was it the atmosphere of the place where we met the queen this time, but it was all the senior officials of the ancient shrine who clearly showed opposition on that occasion. Relatively young subordinates had indicated their willingness to agree, but they tended to snag at the queen to enhance their position in the court. You can't count on their help on the battlefield."

"I see. That's an opinion we don't understand."

"In addition, there have been reports that the war situation is not fragrant"

It was Hausen who came into the room. I guess he's turned back to his private home again, too. Being in this room meant that Lisa sensed its proximity and there was nothing wrong with it. Because otherwise Lunatica, who is outside the room, somehow stops Hausen and sends a signal to the room.

Hausen took control of Ekla, who tried to rush over to him, and when he deposited his jacket with Venn, who stood beside him all the time, he sat in a chair at the edge of the room where the Alphilis and the others could see.

"I'm pretty tired today, too. Would you excuse me?"

"I don't mind that, of course, and rather, we're the ones who are going to thank you. But you said something that bothered you. You don't think the war's too good?

"Uhm."

Hausen replied as he rinsed the prepared tea into the room where Venn poured it.

"The army of the Duke of Dareidle, the vanguard of the demonic crusade, seems to have been robbed by demons of the castle on the front line. Reports came in today that we're going to retreat the front line for about three days."

"Huh. Bye."

"Shortly after you left, this report came. So the heart of the argument will go completely that way, and I'll be honestly forgetting about you guys. With the Duke losing, a fairly cautious reinforcement will be formed from here on out. In this situation, it's hard to imagine incorporating you into that formation. At the very least, I don't think I can be given a critical role. Well thrown away pawn. The danger will increase dramatically."

"Hmm. This visit might just end up in jail."

Alphilis threw himself awake into bed again. Though I seem to be relieved that I haven't had to take the request, some parts remain that I'm not good at somewhere. Speaking of what bothered me, it was Muse's eye. Her eyes as she misses the feeling of anticipation, the rarity and then something. And behind that, eyes that seem to still hide emotions that some people can't tell you. Alphilis wonders what the eyes of the exchangers are like. I can't make enough comparisons because there are only about Miriazal, such as acquaintances of the exchangers, for Alphilis most of all.

But Hausen went on to say more.

"But Lord Alphilis, His Royal Highness Muse says you still have business to attend to. It would no longer be close to a decision to end up in jail this time, but they're still personally interested in doing so. Her Royal Highness made an offer to share a meal with a woman who wanted to bring her rough men together."

"Boy, really?

Alphilis gave a reluctant face to the unexpected offer, but it was the same for the other faces. The reason for this was people.

"Is that an invitation for Alphilis alone?

The line clasps its mouth. Hausen snorted.

"That's right. The Queen would like to see Lord Alphilis personally."

"Why again?"

"Of course, there are apologies, but they're interested in the extravaganza that leads the mercenary corps on the woman's own. The discourse that broke my belly meant that I wouldn't be able to have a subordinate. I didn't say anything more."

"Alfie, what do we do?

"Whatever you do, you'll have to take it."

Alphilis looked troubled, but showed them instantly. From the look on her face that woke her body up again, I could see that she was clearly unwilling to ride.

"Just say no to all that earlier, and if you still say no here, our mercenary regiment will be dried from the public. Considering the future, and Ekura's face, there's no choice but to say no here."

"No, you don't have to worry so much about me..."

"That's not how it works. Besides, he could still be a big mouth customer. Be kind. There's no harm in that."

"Surprisingly intentional, but I also think Lisa is right. Queen of Ediod, one of the great nations on the east side as well. There's nothing missing as a customer."

Lisa nodded, and Alphilis sighed one.

"But... I wonder what it is. I wonder if I can do it well."

"What?

"Courtesy. I'm just nervous about eating with the princess."

"Then I'll teach you how to be polite. Let's practice this evening."

I only had a bad feeling about Alphilis because Ekla gave him a pleasant look for some reason. Faces other than Alphilis were dissolved once while discussing how to spend tomorrow. Then the line approaches Alphilis softly and slaps him in the ear.

"Alfi, do you have a minute?

I wonder what it is.

"Lisa didn't say anything, but Queen Muse is called one of the best negotiators of her time as a diplomat. In fact, Ediod has been reinforcing its voice among nations one after another since she became Queen Muse's substitute. A princess with a reputation for being superficially graceful and beautiful, but never be alarmed, okay?

"Hmm, I just thought the line was vulnerable to beauty,"

The line was annoyed as Alphilis laughed invincibly.

"Hey, people are worried about you..."

"I know. But if that's all the people trying to frame us, there's probably nothing more we can do."

"What?

To the profound words of Alphilis, Rhine gave a complex expression, but there was no answer from Alphilis, and Rhine also left the room as he thought it would be pointless to pursue any further.
